Remove all restrictions and transform into a bizarre girl.

The doorbell rang out with a crisp ding, then the door closed, shutting her off from the street outside once again.

The coffee shop fell silent again.

Chen Nian leaned back in her chair and stared at the empty seat opposite her for a while.

A few seconds later, Su Wanqing's voice came from the doorway: "Niannian! We're here! Who was that who just went out?"

They had seen Chen Nian talking to that woman before they came in, which is why they asked.

Chen Nian looked up and saw three girls walking towards her, their shadows stretched long by the sunlight.

She waved to them and moved the coffee on the table aside to make room.

"It was a senior student," Chen Nian said. "We chatted about something."

"What is it?" Su Wanqing sat down and leaned closer curiously.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Nian decided not to mention the mining area for the time being. After all, there was a precedent, and if Su Wanqing and the others found out, they definitely wouldn't let her go alone.

But taking them with me is too dangerous.

These next few days, I'll just spend some time with them, letting them relax and enjoy the normal life that girls should have.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian replied to the girls, "It's nothing, let's order drinks first. Just order whatever you want to drink."

Upon hearing that she was being treated to a meal, Su Wanqing immediately forgot about the previous question and pulled Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue towards the bar.

Chen Nian sat in her original seat, watching the three of them huddled in front of the bar, chattering about what flavors they wanted, but her mind was still on the location marked with a red circle on the map.

She took out the terminal, glanced at the number she had just saved, then turned off the screen and put it back in her pocket.

Two days is enough time for her to find out whether Xu Xue is trustworthy or not.

When Su Wanqing and the others returned with three drinks, Chen Nian had already temporarily put the matter of the map to the back of her mind.

After watching the girls sit down, she picked up the coffee that had been sitting in front of her for too long and took a sip.

The bitter taste eased Chen Nian's tense nerves a little.

"What are your plans for today?" Chen Nian asked.

After listening to Chen Nian's words, the girls hesitated for a moment before Su Wanqing finally spoke up: "Shopping, eating something? And then buying some clothes?"

Su Wanqing's words showed extreme lack of confidence.

Chen Nian knew that they had already spent most of their Gray Coins at the temporary base. Although they earned some more from mining later, they needed to save them to exchange for new artificial sequences.

However, Chen Nian was not worried about money. Although she didn't have much money on her, she had kept a lot of Azure Crystals.

If all else fails, selling a few azure crystals will be enough to cover expenses.

Even if all else fails, she still has her two-star lieutenant allowance that she hasn't used yet.

There are still plenty there, so money is the least of our worries.

Chen Nian put down her coffee cup, watched the girls chatting, and said nothing.

Time passed, and the drinks were all finished. Chen Nian stood up to pay the bill, but before she reached the counter, Su Wanqing said, "Nian Nian, we can pay ourselves."

Chen Nian smiled and replied, "Don't worry about money, I still have money."

Xia Luoling was the first to shake her head: "No way, we're all roommates, we're all out having fun together, how can I let you pay?"

"That's right. You paid back so much money to Sister Anya before, you must be short of money yourself. We saved some money by mining together later." Xia Luoxue chimed in softly.

Chen Nian smiled and settled the bill anyway, saying casually, "I still have a few Azure Crystals left. Selling one will be enough to last me for a while. Besides, I haven't received my two-star lieutenant's allowance yet. I'm not as poor as you think, so don't be polite with me. Consider it a celebration that we all came back alive."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing was the first to soften. She pursed her lips, but ultimately couldn't help but reveal a set of white teeth: "Then...then I won't be polite."

"Nobody asked you to be polite." Chen Nian stood up, picked up her coat hanging on the back of the chair, and said, "Let's go. Before I regret it, you can pick out a few more clothes and jewelry, and buy some more food."

The four of them came out of the coffee shop and strolled slowly along the shopping street.

Su Wanqing spent twenty minutes browsing through handmade jewelry in a shop before finally picking out a pair of delicate silver earrings and a braided rope bracelet.

They're all nice-looking and inexpensive items.

Chen Nian, who was watching this scene from the side, was immediately moved.

They are all good girls.

After Chen Nian paid the bill, Su Wanqing hugged Chen Nian and said, "Niannian, you're too good to me."

"Is hugging all you do?"

"That……"

Su Wanqing thought for a moment, then pressed her cheek against Chen Nian's face, which finally satisfied Chen Nian.

"Let's go, next place."

In one day, I explored almost the entire city.

Chen Nian took some time to exchange for a few azure crystals and also received the allowance for a two-star lieutenant.

Unexpectedly, the allowance was quite substantial, a full two hundred gray coins, more than enough to cover today's expenses.

By the time they returned to their dormitory, it was already evening.

"I've had enough shopping today, I'll rest tomorrow." Su Wanqing flopped onto the bed, her voice filled with satisfied weariness.

"Oh, I agree. Tomorrow I'll be bedridden, and nobody can get me out of the house," Xia Luoling said.

Xia Luoxue didn't say anything, but simply organized the things she had just bought in her seat.

After washing and putting away his military uniform, he finally got a good rest.

The counseling session was scheduled for the first morning after the break. The notification was sent to individual terminals the night before.

When Chen Nian arrived, the classroom was already mostly full.

She chose a seat by the window, where sunlight streamed in at an angle, casting a long, warm yellow strip of light on the desk.

Su Wanqing sat down next to her, took out two bags of snacks from her spatial storage, handed them to Chen Nian, and whispered, "These kinds of classes are so boring, let's eat some snacks together."

Hearing Su Wanqing's words, Chen Nian did not refuse and nodded.

Having lived two lives, Chen Nian has an excellent mental fortitude and doesn't need any psychological counseling.

Xia Luoling and Xia Luoxue sat in the row behind them. Xia Luoling was looking down at an old book, while Xia Luoxue quietly looked out the window.

They all felt a bit bored.

Some students even slept in class.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman wearing a light gray coat walked into the classroom.

She wore thin-rimmed glasses, her hair was tied in a low ponytail, and she was only holding a thermos. She had no lesson plans or handouts.

She walked to the podium, put down her thermos, looked around at the students, and smiled.

"Hello everyone, my surname is Zhou, and I'll be in charge of the psychological counseling courses for the next few weeks. Don't be nervous, there won't be attendance or a test today, I just want to chat with you."
